It is wonderful to see Catherine McKinnon join the ranks of reg- ular members in the cast of Don Messer's Jubilee. Catherine, who is 20, has just about the nicest voice in Canadian tele- vision right now, and though she began her career in light classics and folk songs, she can sing anything beautifully, She first appeared on nation-wide TV as member of the Halifax chorus, The Jubilee Singers who, under the direction of Bill Langstroth, replaced the Mes- ser show during the summer months. Two summers ago she was singing a solo about twice a month, but last summer, they finally brought her out where she belongs -- in the front row * CROWN THEATRE HARRISTON THUR: FEI: SA,T.

She began the autumn season this year by mak- ing a few guest appearances with Don and his group, and soon producer Jack O'Neill rec- ognized her drawing power and her extraordinary talent, and made her a regular. She• does a variety of solo work, and joins in duets with Marg Os- burne and Charlie Chamberlain. Catherine was born in St. John, N.B., and began her career with a local radio station at the age of eight. Most of her la- ter training was acquired in stage productions, operettas and recitals in and around Hal- ifax. She has also won five scholarships in music festivals. In 1962, she became a regular performer on a Halifax weekly show, and from there went on to the Jubilee singers. In ad- dition to starring in the Messer show, she is now playing in Halifax night clubs, giving folk concerts throughout the Maritimes, and has recorded two long -play albums, which would definitely be worth own- ing. Her sister, Patricia, who likewise possesses a fine voice, also appeared with the Jubilee singers this past summer (they sang many duets together) and is now a regular on CBC's "Music Hop" (weekdays at 5430) when it originates in Halifax. 0--0--0 "Petticoat Junction" has re- turned to brighten our Tuesday evenings - at 7. The cast has remained the same, with Kate Bradley being played by Bea Benedaret, her three daughters by Jeannine Riley, Pat Woodell and Linda Kaye, and Uncle Joe by Edgar Buchanan. An addi- tion to the cast is a shaggy dog, who was introduced in this sea- son's first show and will be a regular member of the Bradley household. He still doesn't have a name; this is something that will be added as weeks go by. It shouldn't be difficult to find one for the cute wee mutt; and it shouldn't be hard for him to steal the show from under the noses of its veteran stars! 0--0--0 In my opinion, the producers of the Bob Hope Show get a bit carried away when they are choosing their guest stars.

The top four bowlers were picked from this match, and they will now bowl on CKNX-TV in the finals. The boys from Wingham put on a good show, taking the first three positions. Bill John- ston was on top, coming up with a high triple of 702. In second position was Ian Mac- Laurin, with 694, and third was Ted English with 673. The fourth spot went to Don Hudson of Mt. Forest, with 671, Bridge Club The Bridge Club results for last Thursday were as follows: North and South: 0, Haselgrove and C. Hodgins, first; W. H. French, A. Wilson, second; tied for third, Mrs. W.

French, third. our livingrooms with no less than five name stars on his guest roster. Every one of these stars is a versatile, exciting performer in his own right, but with an hour-long show it is impossible to give the star and five guests enough time to make much of an impression. Stella Stevens is a talented act- ress, ctress, can sing and dance, and stop a show by just standing there looking gorgeous. We saw her in a short comedy rou- tine, and that was it! Annette Funicello is a cute bundle of energy who began as a wee Mouseketeer with Walt Disney, and is now planning a January wedding; all she was allowed was two rock-and-roll numbers where her dancing was way be- low par. Trini Lopez had the best outing of all, the other two male guests also getting the brushoff. Donald O'Connor is an old pro who can do any- thing; Richard Chamberlain,a newcomer who can do almost as much. Their limit was a comedy in two half -way funny but short little sketches. The show would have been greatly improved had they featured two of these stars in a variety of roles, and left the others waiting in the wings until the next show. A few ironic twists that came to mind during the production - Stella Stevens is, in real life, now seeing a great deal of Chamberlain's competitor, Vince Edwards, who is Dr. Ben Casey. And all the jokes that were thrown a- round about Yvette Mimieux, Richard's co-star in his new picture "Joy in the Morning", weren't as ridiculous as they made them sound. Richard and Yvette are sparking many ru- mors by the amount of time they are spending together, away from the cameras! 0--0--0 News of the entertainment world seems to come in groups and this week there was happy news from New York, when Bob Goulet and Carol Lawrence became the parents of a son, their first child, names Chris- topher; and singer Abbe Lane, ex-wife of bandleader Xavier Cugat, announced that she would marry agent Perry Leff in December, The news from England was sad, though - ven- triloquist Dennis Spicer, 29, who has made many appear- ances on the Ed Sullivan Show, was killed in an automobile crash. CURLING CAPSULES By Ernie Richardson Most coaches in any sport confess that their greatest problem with players is in breaking down bad habits developed in their play in early stages. When learning the basic fundamentals, you may get into some fault in the stance or delivery, or even in your actual style of play right from the start. Continuous repetition of such a fault, something that is most difficult to detect yourself, becomes a habit that takes much time and concentration to correct. The best way to avoid such bad habits from devel- oping is to be careful to study the correct methods from the beginning. We will try to provide the correct 'instruction here in written form, but would ad- vise personal instruction as well wherever possible. This help is particularly valuable in picking out faults in the play of young curlers. It is difficult for you to see what you are doing COMMERCIAL LEAGUE The newly -arrived snow has its good points. Everyone has the "Christmas Spirit." I was watching that little guy with the brush cut tonight and I would advise you all to keep an eye on him, He is going to come through with either the high single or high triple very soon. My team-mate Eric really came through with some good games but then, I just knew he could do it. We thank spares Ev Rapson, Helen Casemore, Shirley and Bill Hanula for their efforts on our behalf. Ladies' high single went to Shirley Storey with 254 and the high triple to Dot Templeman _with 5'72. Morris Stainton, not satisfied with taking last week's high single, took tonight's again with 260 and Jim Bain the high triple with 686, Team standings: Lions 53; Seals 50; Wildcats 43; Tigers 37; Cougars 23; Beavers 20. Memo to Dorothy Bain - We, of the League, wish you the best of luck in your new produc- tion. 0--0--0 WEDNESDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE You will never guess who took the men's high single and triple! If you guessed Ken Sax- ton, you are right, (as usual). Ken had a high single of 306 and a triple of 775. Dorothy Turner had herself a good night, coming up with the ladies' high single of 224 and the high triple, 621. The standings: Tlie Kats, making up for last week, took all seven points and now have 40; Packers 33; Hawks 32; Tigers 29; Rovers 25 and des- pite the fact that yours truly had a bad night (which is get- ting to he a habit), the rest of the Larks came on strong (in the first game) to take two points, giving us the grand to- tal of nine. To spares Sharon Edwards and Bev. Davidson we say thanks. 0--0--0 LADIES' LEAGUE Well, we had plenty of action around the bowling alley this Wednesday night. The Robins took three points from the Wrens, but the Wrens ate wrong and many times it is hard to discover them even by experimenting with changes from time to time. Then, there is the chance of over -correcting and in this way falling into another, and sometimes worse fault. And, those incorrect ha- bits are by no means con- fined to new players. Many an experienced player falls into habits that give him trouble in making shots and cause him considerable worry, There is a difference, however, in that the exper- ienced player is quick to realize that something is amiss and either adjusts the mistake himself or seeks the advice of other exper- ienced curlers. Many of the habits begin in the first position in cur- ling, the stance or position in the hack for the delivery. This position was described in an earlier article, but the need to be poised properly and still be relaxed cannot be emphasized too strongly. One most important habit that should be adopted right from the start is that of con- centrating on the broom. From the time you have taken your position in the hack and are ready to play, never take your eye off the skip's broom until you have completed the delivery. The ball of the right foot should be placed squarely in the rubber hack with the left foot at the side and slightly forward of the right. The toe of both shoes should be pointing in the di- rection to the broom or in the direction the stone is to b e delivered. The feet should be parallel. Many faults can develop right at the stance stage, even be- fore the stone is delivered and many times before the backswing is started. Start correctly and prac- tise each point carefully and often so that each step in learning to curl will be in the direction of first be- coming a good shotmaker, and ultimately a winning skip. LADIES OPEN CURLING SEASON The Ladies' Curling Club enjoyed a pleasant afternoon at .the opening last Friday. About 50 members turned out for the pot luck luncheon and six -end games were played. Mrs. W. W. Gurney welcom- ed the ladies on behalf of the president, Mrs. Murray Rae, who was unable to attend, still in the lead with 26 points. The Orioles took four points from the Canaries to give them 24 points. The Budgies have 22 points, the Bluejays 21, Canaries 20, and Robins 19. Gwen MacLaurin had the high single of 271 and also the high triple of 722. 0--0--0 THURSDAY NiGIIT MIXED LEAGUE The horrors of the night stay- ed in ane fancily, although they were on opposite teams. Gwen MacLaurin bowled '297 and 1398 for ladies' high single and triple. Wayne Brown bowl- ed 321 and 826 for men's high single and triple. Real good "B" PACK The weekly meeting of B Pack Cubs was held in the Scout House on Thursday even- ing, with 28 Cubs and two lea- ders in attendance. Due to exams taking place, many of the older boys were home stud- ying, The opening Grand Howl was taken by Akela, Mrs. Bob Ahara, and led by the Yellow Six. Repeating of the Law and Promise and the singing of 0 Canada was followed by inspec- tion, ACM Hugh Sinnamon, assisted by visiting ACM Don Rintoul of A Pack, inspected B Pack and while all Sixes were very good the Blue Six came out first in points. Stephen Lloyd has taken over as Sixer of the Blue Six and next meeting the new Sec- onder will be promoted. At the present time the Blue Six is leading in the points scored, closely followed by the Red and Yellow Sixes, although there is bowling. Team standings are:Wayne's Woofers 47; Mac's Mules 34: Ian's Idiots 31; Hap's Happy Gang28; Matt's Meeces 27; Bill's Boobs 22, not too much between all tate groups. Presentation of the pe- nnant for the best Six will be made at the Christmas party, at which time the color patch of the winning six will be sewn onto the pack pennant, ACM Don Rintoul led a game of Ship, followed by a period of instruction.
